The 3M™ High Flow Filter Systemis a result of 3M's extensive filtration experience applied to delivering high flow filter technology in a compact design. For those customers whowant filtration efficiency and a small footprint, 3M High Flow filter system may be the right filtration solution.

Compound radial pleats. Applied to minimizing your footprint.

High flow capabilityThe 3M™ High Flow filter system is designed to accommodate flow rates of up to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) in a single 60” length filter cartridge. The result? Fewer filter elements to maintain your process flow requirements. In fact, 3M High Flow filter systems require as few as one-tenth the number of elements as conventional 2.5” outer diameter (OD) filter cartridges (see Figure 5).

3M High efficiency filter media in a compound radial Pleat structure3M innovation is at the heart of the 3M High Flow filter. A compound radial pleat design (see Figure 2) helps maximize the usable surface area of each filter. Blown microfiber forms the basis of the filter media, which is manufactured to tightly-controlled fiber diameter specifications, producing a media with absolute-rated particle retention characteristics. The 3M manufacturing process embosses the media to produce a more

uniform pleat pattern, which, in turn, allows greater utilization of the media by evenly distributing the process fluid throughout the entire filter structure. This results in consistent particle retention in a compact, space-saving design. 3M High Flow cartridge’s polypropylene end caps, outer sleeve, and core protect the pleat structure integrity and provide a robust filter construction.

Compact system designFewer required filter cartridges combined with an outside-to-inside flow path reduces the size of housing required for your application. The 3M High Flow filter housing takes up as little as one-half the size of conventional 2.5” OD filter cartridge housings for a given flow rate. The result is lower capital investment costs and a compact footprint that saves valuable plant space (see Figure 5).

positive seal• Ergonomic designed handle facilitates cartridge installation

and removal

FDA CFR-21 Listed Material • Compatible in applications requiring direct food contact in food and beverage processing

WQA NSF/ANSI Std 61 • Certified by WQA to NSF/ANSI Std 61 for material safety.

Ease of use with twist-to-lockThe 3M™ High Flow filter system is designed with ease-of-use in mind. From a user-friendly, ergonomically designed handle that makes cartridge installation and removal easier without the use of special tools or other hardware, to a “twist-to-lock” cartridge seating mechanism that provides a positive seal, the 3M High Flow filter system facilitates easy operation and maintenance of your filter system.

3M™ High Flow HFM series filters for organic and/or biological contaminantsThe High Flow HFM series filters utilize a 3M microfiber media specifically designed for use in process fluid applications containing organic and/or biological contaminants. The media design helps prevent premature blinding of the filter outer surface, promoting fuller utilization of the media, resulting in an optimum combination of particle removal efficiency and contaminant holding capability.

3M™ High Flow system vs. conventional 2.5” filter systems comparison basis:• 40” length cartridges• Fluid viscosity: 1 cps

Figure 5 – Comparison of required filter cartridges & housing footprint

• 3M High Flow series filter housings are 33% to 50% smaller than filter housings for conventional 2.5” OD cartridges for a given flow rate

• Flow rates per cartridge:• 3M™ High Flow cartridge: 350 gpm• 2.5” outer diameter (OD) conventional pleated cartridge: 20 gpm• 2.5” outer diameter (OD) conventional depth cartridge: 15 gpm

The Bottom line:• The 3M High Flow system

requires 90% fewer cartridges as conventional 2.5” OD cartridge systems for a given flow rate

• Fewer filters and a user-friendly housing design mean easier and faster filter change-outs

3M™ High Flow system filter housings3M™ High Flow system filter housings are specifically designed to deliver all of the system’s benefits in a compact footprint in your production site. Housings are available in ASME code or Non- Code standard designs, as well as customizable configurations to suit your specific needs. The surface finishes available for the housings are glass bead blasted, painted or polished.

3M High Flow series filter housings are available in a variety of standard sizes to accommodate from 1 to 19 3M High Flow filter cartridges in 10-inch, 40-inch and 60-inch lengths. Other High Flow housing sizes and configurations are also available upon request.

The outside-to-inside flow pattern of the 3M High Flow system translates into a simpler filter housing design and operation. Alternative inside-to-outside flow designs require the use of a bulky support plate for cartridge sealing. This support plate must be removed during cartridge installation and change-out, and may require the use of special tools. The 3M High Flow housing features a centerpost design for cartridge support, requiring no support plates or special tools, providing a user-friendly cartridge installation and removal process.

3M High Flow series filter housings come with a choice

Figure 7: 3M™ High Flow Housings

Figure 6: 3M™ High Flow Sanitary Design Housings

of standard inlet and outlet connection size options. The “MAX” option uses inlet and outlet connections sized for the maximum design flow through the High Flow cartridges (350 gpm for 40-inch, 500 gpm for 60-inch). For applications where operation at less than 50% of the maximum design flow is preferred (e.g. those having a higher inlet solids level, or where optimizing filter life is a priority), the “STD” option, which uses smaller inlet & outlet connections, may be chosen.

10-inch housing: ASME code and Non-Code housing designs are available to accommodate the 10-inch High Flow cartridge. This allows the user to take advantage of the benefits of the High Flow cartridge design (high efficiency filter media, “twist to lock” positive seating mechanism). These versions, capable of maximum flow rates of 85 gpm per cartridge, are great choices for lower process flow applications (such as point-of-use).
